8.2 83.4 mph, that looked plumb, he has been getting that front leg across and awkwardly getting away, this time he does not, length ball skids and bounces past the bat swing, and strikes him in front of off and middle, he's given, and even the review cannot save him, no evidence of an inside edge, that was hitting top of middle, according to the ball tracker, on-field call stays 37/3

25.1 82.8 mph, Guptill with an outstanding take at extra cover, Samuels was looking in control, but this time he tried to punch a back of a length ball that bounced extra, and he weakly pushed it to extra cover's left, where Guptill dived full-stretch to snap it up low with both hands 97/4

38.2 79.8 mph, Sammy goes without doing any damage, the line was wide enough for the cut, he went for it in Caribbean fashion too, very hard, but there was too much bounce, and keeper snaps up the edge 160/7

4.4 to Gayle, 79.6 mph, this is a bonus for New Zealand, Gayle could have done potentially decisive damage, a short and wide delivery he gets, he goes after the cut, but point times his leap too well 23/138.2 to Sammy, 79.8 mph, Sammy goes without doing any damage, the line was wide enough for the cut, he went for it in Caribbean fashion too, very hard, but there was too much bounce, and keeper snaps up the edge 160/746.1 to Narine, Narine gives it away, when he should have been giving the strike to Russell with four overs left, swings a full one from outside off straight to long on 216/9

37.3 to Thomas, 75.2 mph, this time he has got a lot of power on another full toss, but not much timing, and it goes into the hands of deep square leg, who fumbles but holds on as he tumbles forward 157/643.1 to Bravo, 73.8 mph, another full toss, another wicket, low this time, into the pads, and flicked, with back leg in the air, of course, to midwicket on the edge of the circle 180/8

11.5 56.6 mph, the angle works, flicked from round the stumps, drifts away, good length, Baz looks to defend, it did not turn away much, just enough to take the edge and settle into slip's hands, this is not an angle he's used much 64/2

25.3 68.2 mph, what a way to get out, Samuels spears it in full at 110 kph, insanely quick, Taylor walks outside the crease as leans forward, the ball hits Taylor's front boot, rolls to the keeper, brushes his glove, hits his pad and rolls into the stumps, Taylor's back foot is still in the air, and Samuels and West Indies get lucky 108/4

45.4 55.7 mph, hello, CH Gayle could have turned the game around with a blinder at midwicket, KW had struck the pull hard, it was going to Gayle's right, but he had enough time to leap and pluck it one-handed 208/7

26.4 87.2 mph, Flynn departs for a duck, cuts straight to gully, short, wide outside off, and he picks out Sammy at gully, who jumps to pluck it high, poor Flynn at least had starts in the previous games 109/5

34.5 82.5 mph, Latham's struggle is over, Bravo angles it in from round the stumps, gets it to straighten appreciably, and Latham's attempted drive is snapped up by Thomas diving to his left, sharp low take, the ball settling into the webbing of the gloves 140/6

49.6 60.0 mph, West Indies make it 4-1 in style, Boult connects off the final ball, but only gets it high towards long on, where big Pollard settles under it, takes the catch, and tumbles theatrically onto the ground a couple of times, for effect 221/10
